Script modification

[edit]

I've edited your reply-link.js script here to not reload the page. Instead it retrieves the new section content via ajax. Could you please test this version. It works intermittently for me and I am not sure why. --Gryllida (talk) 01:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please check this issue and also that one in afch. If you do not have time to implement any of this then guidance about how to do it would be most appreciated, as I have a beginner knowledge of JavaScript. Gryllida (talk) 00:40, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For at least 2 days, the above tool hangs without results. — Maile (talk) 13:27, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The wmflabs.org servers have been experiencing problems the last days, so that might have caused it. Regards SoWhy 14:13, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Server glitches makes sense. I wonder if it's browser specific. I just changed computers to check this, and it doesn't work for me on either computer. Both computers use Firefox 67.0 (64-bit) Although, until yesterday, I never had an issue pulling this up. — Maile (talk) 14:18, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not browser-specific. I just tried it on Chrome Version 74.0.3729.169 (Official Build) (64-bit). Still doesn't pull up for me. — Maile (talk) 15:03, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 6

Administrators' newsletter – June 2019

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2019).

Administrator changes

removed Andonic • Consumed Crustacean • Enigmaman • Euryalus • EWS23 • HereToHelp • Nv8200pa • Peripitus • StringTheory11 • Vejvančický

CheckUser changes

removed Ivanvector

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
  • An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
  • An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news

  • The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion. You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
  • Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution! The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

cv-revdel

[edit]

...should fail gracefully, given an error, or do something when encountering the spam blacklist. I tried to add a rd1 tag to a page, and one of the sources tripped the blacklist. Rather than closing, giving an error, or doing anything, the script just remained in the same state, except that it didn't add the actual tag. See [1]. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 01:22, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Had such a case today with Italian Islands of the Aegean. Manually trying to add {{copyvio-revdel}} with the first URL from this case brought up MediaWiki:Spamprotectiontext. Sam Sailor 06:15, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tweak to bag bot sorting

[edit]

[3] This would allow better sorting of bot ops in the table, rather than have 'none' in the middle of the sort. See [4] for how that would affect the table. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:41, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It would also be nice to have usernames linked. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:06, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, there is an issue with headers with links with a leading : in them. The current TOC has
instead of
because of [[:Category:Personal userbox galleries]] used to generate the link. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:18, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Again an issue at Wikipedia:Bot requests#Bot to clear :Category:Journal articles needing infoboxes vs Wikipedia:Bot requests#Bot to clear Category:Journal articles needing infoboxes. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:57, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kyoto Animation arson attack

[edit]

I re-instated the info about why the names of the deceased have yet to be released. In my opinion it doesn't need a time stamp as the information is still true that the victims haven't been identified yet. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:29, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Knowledgekid87: - to sneak in an answer, time stamps are wanted for edits, as at some stage it won't be correct. That's fine if the editor always immediately appeared and updated, but that's not always the case. As such, it's helpful to add it in so that, in the event it's not updated, readers can know "ok that was the case 4 weeks ago, but might not be now" Nosebagbear (talk) 12:40, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – August 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • Following a research project on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to improve the privacy of IP editors. The result of this project may significantly change administrative and counter-vandalism workflows. The project is in the very early stages of discussions and there is no concrete plan yet. Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
  • The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist.

    Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

Bots Newsletter, August 2019

[edit]
Bots Newsletter, August 2019

Greetings!

Here is the 7th issue of the Bots Newsletter, a lot happened since last year's newsletter! You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from this list.

Highlights for this newsletter include:

ARBCOM
  • Nothing of note happened. Just like we like it.
BAG

BAG members are expected to be active on Wikipedia to have their finger on the pulse of the community. After two years without any bot-related activity (such as posting on bot-related pages, posting on a bot's talk page, or operating a bot), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice. Retired members can re-apply for BAG membership as normal if they wish to rejoin the BAG.

We thank former members for their service and wish Madman a happy retirement. We note that Madman and BU Rob13 were not inactive and could resume their BAG positions if they so wished, should their retirements happens to be temporary.

BOTDICT

Two new entries feature in the bots dictionary

BOTPOL
  • Activity requirements: BAG members now have an activity requirement. The requirements are very light, one only needs to be involved in a bot-related area at some point within the last two years. For purpose of meeting these requirements, discussing a bot-related matter anywhere on Wikipedia counts, as does operating a bot (RFC).
  • Copyvio flag: Bot accounts may be additionally marked by a bureaucrat upon BAG request as being in the "copyviobot" user group on Wikipedia. This flag allows using the API to add metadata to edits for use in the New pages feed (discussion). There is currently 1 bot using this functionality.
  • Mass creation: The restriction on mass-creation (semi-automated or automated) was extended from articles, to all content-pages. There are subtleties, but content here broadly means whatever a reader could land on when browsing the mainspace in normal circumstances (e.g. Mainspace, Books, most Categories, Portals, ...). There is also a warning that WP:MEATBOT still applies in other areas (e.g. Redirects, Wikipedia namespace, Help, maintenance categories, ...) not explicitely covered by WP:MASSCREATION.
BOTREQs and BRFAs

As of writing, we have...

  • 20 active BOTREQs, please help if you can!
  • 14 open BRFAs and 1 BRFA in need of BAG attention (see live status).
  • In 2018, 96 bot task were approved. An AWB search shows approximately 29 were withdrawn/expired, and 6 were denied.
  • Since the start of 2019, 97 bot task were approved. Logs show 15 were withdrawn/expired, and 15 were denied.
  • 10 inactive bots have been deflagged (see discussion). 5 other bots have been deflagged per operator requests or similar (see discussion).
New things
Other discussions

These are some of the discussions that happened / are still happening since the last Bots Newsletter. Many are stale, but some are still active.

XfD Stats malfunctiong

[edit]

I'm afraid to report that the tool is malfunctioning. The "user" and "number of discussions" text boxes work fine, but pulling up the results leads to a "ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR" error message on Google Chrome. Might be a domain issue in the code. ToThAc (talk) 00:52, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – October 2019

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2019).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a discussion, a new criterion for speedy category renaming was added: C2F: One eponymous article, which applies if the category contains only an eponymous article or media file, provided that the category has not otherwise been emptied shortly before the nomination. The default outcome is an upmerge to the parent categories.

Technical news

  • As previously noted, tighter password requirements for Administrators were put in place last year. Wikipedia should now alert you if your password is less than 10 characters long and thus too short.

  • The Community Tech team has been working on a system for temporarily watching pages, and welcomes feedback.

RfA tools

[edit]

Hello there Enterprisey, I just recently became aware of some of your tool work on wiki. It looks like you've worked on/replaced/repaired some of the ScottyWong tools. Is there perhaps a fix or replacement for this one? I did see the "voting pattern" one for RfA, but was interested in seeing how a single user voted over multiple RfAs. TY for all your great work - it's appreciated. — Ched (talk) 23:44, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I remember there certainly used to be one (as in a version more recent than scottywong's). I thought it was in xtools, but I checked there and didn't see it. I put a few minutes into looking elsewhere but couldn't find anything. I would certainly be happy to make it myself if one can't be found, although I'm a bit busy IRL lately (...when is that ever not the case, haha) so we might have to delay a bit. That said, I'm going to try to get as much stuff out the door as possible before the upcoming WikiConference, so there's a good chance we'll have a tool like this by then.

I have caused MusikAnimal some grief...

[edit]

... and I have you to thank for it.

In delsort, right now the script selects an insertion point in the skin directly (it might reasonably instead be some sort of modal but I don't know how to do that myself :), a point in the skin which not all skins have (cough Timeless cough). Would you mind if you fixed that? I think the preferable way would be to target #contentSub instead of #jump-to-nav, but you could also guard against timeless using an if-else on the skin to insert it in Timeless in the else statement (since we Timeless are few and far between).

Entirely untested, but my button hasn't worked for a year now and I'd like it to. :( --Izno (talk) 22:58, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

[edit]

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Thank you for your note. I'm sure you know these procedures better than I do, and I trust your judgement. I added that report based on this note in WP:RAA:

  • An administrator can repair damage made by a malicious user more quickly than other users: if someone is making multiple damaging edits it will be easier for you to report them than try to repair everything yourself.

Peace Dove

[edit]
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Administrators' newsletter – February 2020

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2020).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
  • The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

Technical news

  • Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
  • When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [10]

Arbitration

  • Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Finding wikitext positions for Parsoid HTML

[edit]

You said you were wondering if this is possible, so here's how:

  1. Fetch the Parsoid HTML, e.g. from https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/The_Fighting_Temeraire/914474798. Note the revision ID and the "etag" HTTP header value.
  2. Fetch the Parsoid data for your HTML output, e.g. from https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/data-parsoid/The_Fighting_Temeraire/914474798/c26208b0-f29e-11e9-b2c6-a5178ebb33fb (using the revision ID and the etag – you need to pass the etag to request the data for a particular parse result, since changes in transcluded templates affect the output).
  3. Fetch the wikitext source, e.g. from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fighting_Temeraire?oldid=914474798&action=raw (or the API)

Then, to find the wikitext position corresponding to a piece of the HTML output, for example this link in the second paragraph:

<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="./HMS_Temeraire_(1798)" title="HMS Temeraire (1798)" id="mwEg">HMS <i id="mwEw">Temeraire</i></a>

…you take its id and take the JSON data for it, for this example it's:

"mwEg":{"stx":"piped","a":{"href":"./HMS_Temeraire_(1798)"},"sa":{"href":"HMS Temeraire (1798)"},"dsr":[906,948,23,2]}

The dsr numbers (I think this stands for "data source range") are the wikitext positions of the beginning and end of the markup, and the lengths of the opening and closing "tag". In this example, the characters 906 to 948 in the wikitext are:

[[HMS Temeraire (1798)|HMS ''Temeraire'']]

…where the 23-character opening tag is [[HMS Temeraire (1798)| and the 2-character closing tag is ]].

Some of the other properties are documented at mw:Parsoid/Internals/data-parsoid (which also says that this is internal and subject to change at any time, but AFAIK it hasn't changed much since Parsoid was invented).

I hope this helps, or is at least interesting :) Matma Rex talk 18:37, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Following an RfC, the blocking policy was changed to state that sysops must not undo or alter CheckUser or Oversight blocks, rather than should not.
  • A request for comment confirmed that sandboxes of established but inactive editors may not be blanked due solely to inactivity.

Technical news

  • Following a discussion, Twinkle's default CSD behavior will soon change, most likely this week. After the change, Twinkle will default to "tagging mode" if there is no CSD tag present, and default to "deletion mode" if there is a CSD tag present. You will be able to always default to "deletion mode" (the current behavior) using your Twinkle preferences.

BRFA thought

[edit]

Just a thought, be lazy like me and let the bots handle the moving/removing/relisting of completed BRFAs; I almost missed your latest approval (and the point about the bot flag) because it wasn't transcluded properly onto the "approved" list. Primefac (talk) 12:04, 6 March 2020 (UTC) (please ping on reply)[reply]

New NodeJS bot framework

[edit]

Hi, while I know that you don't use Node.js for your bots, I thought you still might be interested in a new bot framework that I created - mwn. It's mostly written on the MWBot as a foundation with some enhancements copied from mw.Api, some original improvements like automated retries on maxlag and expired token errors, and finally I bundled in my own libApi.js functions for bulk processing tasks. It's intended to cover the limitations of the existing nodejs bot libraries - which have few features and use outdated JS techniques. Your contributions would be very much appreciated! See issues for a list of open tasks if you like. Regards, SD0001 (talk) 20:06, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

any way to scp files over to toolforge? I tried scp'ing them to login.tools.wmflabs.org but of course that didn't work

You asked "any way to scp files over to toolforge? I tried scp'ing them to login.tools.wmflabs.org but of course that didn't work"

EnterpriseyBot malfunctioning

[edit]

We've been having to manually update {{vandalism information}} as of late (the bot is/was inaccurately reporting low RPM when it's actually high at the time, and occasionally it goes hours without updating). As having to go in and manually update it is tedious, I think I speak for many when I say the errors should be fixed ASAP. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 01:21, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hate to bring this up again

[edit]

I mean this with all due respects, but still, I feel I need to scrutinise your blocks as they seem overly harsh. Somebody getting a 2 week ban for that? Yet vandals get 31hrs, as they should, as the purpose of a block is to prevent disruptive editing when that person hadn't even broken the 3rr yet, nor did they receive proper warnings past a Level 1 good faith. If again, there's something I'm missing please say. You're an admin so can probably see way more about this user than I can. Thanks in advance! Ed6767 (talk) 02:14, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ed6767, sure, sounds sensible. I discussed this with someone more familiar with various methods of IP-hopping and 31 hours would probably work, so I'll reduce all the blocks to that. I had 2 weeks originally to discourage re-use of IPs for this attack; probably just one week would've worked. Almost all of the IPs had no prior use on here that I could see, otherwise two weeks would've definitely been overboard. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:20, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Tysm for clarifying! Sorry if I'm being annoying, I'm still learning all the ins and outs really, I've only been editing mainly for a month.

It is odd/disturbing that this user came to continue the blanking of that IP talk page after the IP had been blocked and lost talk page access for edit-warring over said talk page.

TFA vandal recycled IPs

[edit]

Special:Contributions/104.172.108.167 appears to have been used very recently for the same purposes (they also vandalised the TFA of May 24th). Maybe longer blocks should be in order? Just saying. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:36, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As a VPN is clearly being used, blocking that IP for longer would've just caused them to hop to a new one. The fallout is minimized with 31 hours - heck, a shorter period would probably work as well. On the other hand, assuming it's a peer-to-peer VPN, longer blocks might discourage people from participating in the VPN. But those IPs haven't edited too much otherwise, nor is such a strategy likely to be within policy, so 31 hours sounds about right. Enterprisey (talk!) 00:41, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many VPNs use open proxies that are blocked for long periods of times so it would not be a issue to block them for longer times since their edits need rev deletion and are seriously bad unless there is evidence that the IP is either not a proxy or a closed proxy 🌸 1.Ayana 🌸 (talk) 10:49, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not all VPNs should get the same treatment, so shorter blocks (or an escalating schedule) should be fine in this case. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:53, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

[edit]

Hi Enterprisey, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

tvtropes.org filter

[edit]

Several IPs have used tvtropes.org as a source on TFA and there needs to be a filter to prevent posting of tvtropes.org on the TFA pages 🌸 1.Ayana 🌸 (talk) 00:06, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done, sorta, due to the potentially high false-positive rate. Enterprisey (talk!) 00:12, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Goings-on

[edit]

For some reason your bot didn't archive Wikipedia:Goings-on today (I have done it now). Could you look into that? Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 09:06, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the bot was logged out for some reason. I logged it in about three hours after UTC midnight, but I neglected to run all the tasks that it missed. Sorry about that. Enterprisey (talk!) 21:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The same happened today too. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 20:43, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Same issue. Time to rewrite the task so that it doesn't depend on me logging in, I guess. Sorry again. Enterprisey (talk!) 07:30, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:EnterpriseyBot/BOTREQ status and Bot Operator detection

[edit]

How does the Bot determine Operator status? I ask because of this diff "Challenge Bot" (item #6) does not list me as a Bot Operator, yet I operate HasteurBot and Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/HasteurBot 15 is approved (along with many other tasks). Hasteur (talk) 17:16, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hasteur, it checks for Category:Wikipedia bot operators on your user page. Enterprisey (talk!) 22:15, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Might be nice if you documented that in the pseudo-template. I also think that if the page is being transcluded into WP project space, the "template" really belongs in the template namespace, which also means you should put the task up for a BRFA so that others have an opportunity to scrutinize/document.
